Doug
bombed down back the 7 miles from Vogelsang early in the morning
so we could do a 7 mile roundtrip day hike to Cathedral lake - one
of Michelle's favorite places since she was 11 years old!
Sierra finally gets
to ride in the special Kelty Kid's Carrier backpack. She
fell asleep a couple of times and seemed to enjoy the extra
comfort.
Almost there.
Great view of Cathedral Peak in the background. You can see
where the name came from.
Michelle gets some
goodies for Sierra out of the pack.
Gorgeous Lake.
Gorgeous Michelle and Sierra.
Years ago we camped
on the far side of Cathedral lake (by the trees on the right) and
were visited by a bear in the early morning.
Sierra gets
animated! Yeah, we MADE IT!
Sierra was playing
in the SNOW in the MIDDLE OF JULY at 1:28 PM - the time she was
born exactly 2.5 years ago!
Sierra liked
throwing snowballs for Grandpa Doug's camera.
Later that day we
drove down to Yosemite Valley (and all the "tourists") on the way
home. Picked up a Yosemite T-Shirt for Sierra.
Here is Rory,
Sierra and Michelle at the base of the world famous Yosemite
Falls, which was surprisingly weak for this time of the year.
